With Mbappe already ruled out for a few weeks, PSG are now have another injury concern with Neymar
Paris Saint-Germain have barely recovered from the news that top scorer Kylian Mbappe could be missing in action for up to three weeks, but they have now been left anxious over the fitness of Brazilian forward Neymar as well.
Neymar missed the Montpellier game as a precaution
While Mbappe was taken off injured against Montpellier, Neymar did not feature at all, as he was rested out of precaution due to concerns over his ankle injury, but those concerns have reportedly grown.
Neymar has had a spotty injury history at PSG and has missed up to 104 games in six years at the club with niggling troubles, and this latest injury concern means that he could add even more games to that enormous number.
Neymar has been at PSG since his world record transfer from Barcelona in 2017 and has starred in whatever game time he has managed to amass in between injuries, making him an incredibly important part of PSG’s team, and this season has been no different.
PSG will miss Neymar in tough run of games
Neymar has played 25 matches for PSG in all competitions in the 2022/23 season, scoring 17 goals and assisting 15 more, and has been integral to PSG being top of the Ligue 1 table as well.
PSG face a daunting month of football, with fixtures against Marseille in both the Coupe de France and Ligue 1, two legs of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie against Bayern Munich, as well as Ligue 1 showdowns against Monaco and Lille set to decorate the month.
They will already be without Mbappe for the majority of those games, and they would prefer not to add Neymar to their injury list.
